Analyse the nuclear arms race and efforts to control proliferation.

The nuclear arms race has been a defining aspect of the modern world, marked by the development, proliferation, and efforts to control nuclear weapons since their inception during World War II. This competition primarily involved major global powers striving for supremacy in nuclear capabilities, profoundly influencing international relations, security policies, and global stability.

These events underscored the destructive power of nuclear weapons and initiated a period of military and technological rivalry, especially between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The Soviet Union conducted its first successful nuclear test in 1949, setting the stage for a prolonged arms race.

The Cold War era saw the rapid development and deployment of increasingly sophisticated nuclear arsenals. Innovations like hydrogen bombs, intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) further escalated the stakes. By the 1960s, both superpowers had amassed thousands of nuclear warheads, aiming to deter each other through the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).
